Murder In The Morning Edition

Author Peter Bartram and I had a blast chatting over (virtual) tea about his hilarious mystery, Murder in the Morning Edition. It was particularly interesting to hear Peter talk about his own experience as a career journalist and how he channeled that experience into the Colin Crampton series.

The three biggest takeaways from my chat with Peter:

1. He was himself a reporter for an evening newspaper.

2. He was once threatened by a criminal he was doing a story on!

3. Even though we’re an ocean apart, we both live near a Brighton.

About Murder In The Morning Edition

Welcome to Brighton, England – where they do like to murder beside the seaside…

Don’t you just hate it when you get the afternoon off – and then find yourself chasing a train robber with his loot?

Join ace crime reporter Colin Crampton and his feisty Australian girlfriend, Shirley Goldsmith, as they embark on a new adventure.

It all starts when Colin spends a lazy afternoon by the beach with Shirley. But when a daring robbery takes place before their very eyes, Colin reckons he’s on the trail of a big story.

But nothing about the robbery is what it seems. And before long Colin and Shirley are drawn deeper into danger.

Colin encounters a motorcycle rocker with bad teeth, a dyslexic tattooist, and a seller of novelty toilet roll holders as he chases down his story.

Murder in the Morning Edition is the first part of a mystery adventure trilogy which continues in Murder in the Afternoon Extra and Murder in the Night Final.
